<div align="left" style="text-align:left;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#000000" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:14pt;color:#000000;">From the Alice book with the Beetle Band example and scenario; The students and I are trying to add on to the basic Beetle Band scenario of creating a Solo and Duets with using Parameters. However, each time the students try to test the added Methods for either Solo or Duets by changing the Event world start, Alice freezes. The third part of the project which is the add on, is
to have music playing the whole time in the background and the students trying to sinc the lyrics and movements to the music. The problem is that every time I try to add a Do together in the events, Alice freezes or gives an error. (see below) Is this an Alice thing? An Alice running or Mac thing? A Java thing? And is there a way to fix it?</font></div>
